The main character doesn't sound that nice or memorable. Great mini reviews.

Even then I had doubts if the author could pull off a convincing story with just a little over than 200 pages. As for Confessions of an Angry Girl, well, I had doubts about it too. The cover is very lovely but I felt like the characters would be rather annoying, and indeed, hypocrisy is so very annoying.Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113611207753873326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-71480589817683383792012-09-06T11:43:19.818-04:002012-09-06T11:43:19.818-04:00Two bad you striked out with both of these reads, ...Two bad you striked out with both of these reads, Z. I hate when that happens. For "Emily", I was hoping for a really strong friendship bond between Emily and Leo. <br /><br />I really had no desire to read "Confessions of an Angry Girl" at all. The plot just doesn't appeal to me, probably because I see it in the hallways at work. Also the whole senior dating a freshman never made any sense to me.Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-2716005797065506792012-09-06T10:37:45.282-04:002012-09-06T10:37:45.282-04:00Hmmmm.

Like Sam said, I've been seeing a wide variety of opinions on this book which makes me want to read it for myself so I can see what I think. I'm glad to know about that little cheating issue upfront though, it likely won't bother me as much now that I'm aware of it:) Fabulous mini reviews Z!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-50957421641736551522012-09-06T10:29:02.319-04:002012-09-06T10:29:02.319-04:00Confessions of an Angry Girl has been getting all ...Confessions of an Angry Girl has been getting all sorts of varied reviews. I wouldn't have immediately been drawn to that book, but a lot of the positive reviews managed to get me to change my mind. But seeing your opinion has me doing a u-turn again! Rose and I probably won't be an ideal pair. <br /><br />Emily for Real <i>definitely</i> isn't my sort of book. Thanks for the helpful reviews! I hope your next few reads are better.

Great reviews on both novels though!<br /><br />- Juhina @ <a href="http://www.majibookshelf.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Maji Bookshelf</a>Maji Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041371370691545149noreply@blogger.com
